The endless pottering has begun. Thought I’d knock off a story mission or two tonight — instead, I played blackjack, went fishing with some pals and had a bath.
One repeated annoyance is not being able to camp, though. Constant claims of nearby activity, even when it seems pretty desolate to me.

Very specific role playing in the Wild West question: is it possible to buy a ticket legitimately, get on a train and have it travel along the track while I gaze out of the window? Seems like there’s no honest way to ride a train slowly across the map, even though that’d be a classic Rockstar thing to do.

After my return to Destiny 2 a few weeks ago (played the two previous expansions and then a Foresaken), reddit was covered in angry comments about poor Gambit players. So I thought, being awful at Destiny, I’d give it a miss.
Turns out it’s possibly my favourite mode and literally all you have to do is not be a complete moron.
Some of the crazy moves I’ve seen... not just holding onto motes when it’s banking time, but holding 11 and then leaping into a huge mess of enemies, seemingly with no super.
I’d say that a big on-screen ‘BANK NOW’ cue could help, but the drifter is pretty explicit about it as is.

Right?! I have a 5yo and a 9yo and we’ve been loving this on and off from 4pm till bedtime. The River Rapids mode in particular was a huge hit — with no competiveness it’ll get old fast, I suspect, but great fun so far.

It’s still exciting. Guess I will need to get into some of the more social stuff — I’ve been essentially solo/matchmade up to this point, but if I’m gonna feed the addiction, may as well make it worthwhile!
I’ll google, but while I’m posting — does Mercury only have one PE? Never has a milestone felt so far away.

Finished the Foresaken campaign over the weekend — floating around 504 ish and still highly addictive. I think I have to commit to, one day, trying to find a way into doing the new raid though — I didn’t do Leviathan, but at this point if I’m not powering up for the raid, there’s a risk of it becoming pointless.
What are the other high level ‘This is why I still need to grind’ activities?

I’m no good at it, but played my first couple of Gambit games today and it’s great fun.
Challenge wasn’t killing enemies or banking, it was picking up motes before another player swept in and scooped them up!
Nice change of pace. But back to the Foresaken story for now I guess!
